Marijuana seized from boat near Sunset Cliffs

San Diego  About 1,400 pounds of marijuana was seized from a boat and two smuggling suspects were arrested early Saturday near Point Loma.

The crew of the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Sea Otter intercepted a small boat, known as a panga, after a citizen called authorities about 6:40 a.m. to report that it was beached at a cave in the Sunset Cliffs area, and two men appeared to be unloading items.

San Diego police and lifeguards also responded. Bales of marijuana were found on the panga. Two suspects, both Mexican citizens, were turned over to the U.S. Border Patrol.
